My cash chips have a € sign but we play in SEK which are worth 1/10. I figure that if the stakes go up I don't have to buy more, I'll just switch to playing in euros ;-)
My recommendation would be no more than 100 x 0.05. Give a stack to each of the first 5 players and then the rest can make change. Focus on the 0.25 and 1.00.
Remember they're only typically used for the first round of betting e.g. small blind, big blind and any limps. Post-flop, the bets will normally be 0.25 or multiples thereafter.

I haven't played with these denoms so my advice here means nothing, but 10 of the lowest per person seems low. Wouldn't there be lots of change making?
I never use starting stacks for cash games. First player(s) gets all the lowest denom chips + whichever workhorses are needed. Subsequent players get workhorses and make change at the table. When all workhorses are out I start handing out value chips.

Depends on the game in my experience. If it's a limp-fest then it might be a little light, but typically an open post-flop will be 0.25 and a min-raise 0.50 with no 0.05 being used YMMV
Don't think of it as starting stacks, they mean nothing in cash games. Think of it in terms of how many of each denom you want in play after a bunch of rebuys, i.e. before the £5 chips are introduced.
I would think you want enough 0.05 to keep the change making down, more of the 0.25, perhaps less £1 (but I don't know, I don't have experience), then enough £5 to cover the bank.
